NextComputing T100 overview

1Description

Built for demanding professional applications such as video editing, color grading and effects compositing, visual effects, 3D modeling, animation, and virtual reality (VR) content creation, the EDGE T100 Video Editing Minitower Workstation from NextComputing packs powerful performance into a system with a minimal footprint that fits comfortably next to or behind your display. It is powered by a 3.0 GHz Intel Core i7-6950X Ten-Core processor that can be boosted up to 3.5 GHz using Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 technology.

The 128GB of 2400 MHz PC4-19200 DDR4 RAM allows the computer to run multiple applications simultaneously and quickly access frequently-used files and programs. This EDGE T100 features eight 288-pin DIMM slots and the current 128GB memory configuration is made up of eight 16GB modules, which can be upgraded to up to 32GB per slot for a total of 256GB of RAM.

For long-term storage of your files, this system is equipped with a 512GB M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD and a 1TB SATA 2.5" SSD, both of which allow quick access to your data and provide a combined storage capacity of 1.5TB. While these SSDs may not have the larger storage capacity of a traditional spinning disk, they contain no moving parts, which helps them to be more resistant against bumps, drops, and other kinds of damage. SSDs also receive less wear and tear than traditional hard drives, as there are no read and write heads. Additionally, as one of these SSDs connects via PCIe as compared to SATA, it is able to operate with even greater data transfer speeds.

If you want to add external storage drives, printers, memory card readers, optical drives, or other peripherals, the EDGE T100 features one 40 Gb/s Thunderbolt 3 port that also supports 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 Type-C and dual-bandwidth DisplayPort 1.2, as well as one 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 Type-A port, five 5 Gb/s USB 3.0 Type-A ports, four 480 Mb/s USB 2.0 Type-A ports, and one PS/2 port. For users who wish to add additional components to the drive bays, there is one internal 2.5" bay, three internal 3.5" bays, and one external 3.5" bay. The dedicated NVIDIA Quadro P6000 graphics card has 24GB of GDDR5X RAM and delivers a sharp, clear picture while allowing for multiple simultaneous displays to be used via its one DVI-D and four DisplayPort 1.4 outputs that support HDR and resolutions up to 5K with 30-bit color.

The EDGE T100 Video Editing Minitower Workstation is powered by a 600W power supply and includes a USB keyboard, a USB mouse, a mouse pad, a cleaning cloth, and a power cord. The installed operating system is Windows 10 Professional (64-bit).

General Features

Thunderbolt 3

Thunderbolt 3 is a hardware interface that utilizes the reversible USB Type-C connector. Doubling the speed of its predecessor, Thunderbolt 3 features a maximum throughput of 40 Gb/s when used with compatible devices. The connector also transmits data via USB 3.1 at up to 10 Gb/s, and dual-bandwidth DisplayPort 1.2 allows you to connect two 4K displays simultaneously. Additionally, you can daisy chain up to six devices from a single Thunderbolt 3 port.

Gigabit Ethernet Port

An integrated Gigabit Ethernet controller allows for Internet access when connected to a router, modem, or network switch.

USB 3.1 | USB 3.0 | USB 2.0

The EDGE T100 features one 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 Type-A port, five 5 Gb/s USB 3.0 Type-A ports, and four 480 Mb/s USB 2.0 Type-A ports that will allow you to connect external peripherals such as hard drives, printers, and memory card readers. These high-speed transfer rates, especially from USB 3.1 and USB 3.0, help to significantly reduce data transfer times, meaning you spend less time waiting and more time focusing on the task at hand

PCIe

There are two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots, two PCIe 3.0 x8 (x16 mechanical) slots, and two PCIe 2.0 x1 slots.

Windows 10 Professional

Start Menu

After its hiatus in Windows 8, the Start Menu has returned. Utilizing a combination of the traditional menu system and Windows 8's Live Tiles, the improved Start Menu gives you more information at a glance, showing notification information alongside your applications and other pinned items.

Cortana

Microsoft's digital personal assistant, Cortana can answer your questions with information gleaned from both your device and the internet at large. You can type or even talk with her, if your system has a microphone. Using her Notebook, Cortana keeps track of your needs and wants, and she learns over time to improve her information gathering skills.

Microsoft Edge

After nearly 20 years, Microsoft has finally replaced its Internet Explorer web browser. With Microsoft Edge, users can write directly on web pages and share notes with friends and colleagues. It also improves the online reading experience by adding a distraction-free mode and read-it-later functionality. Edge also has built-in Cortana integration; you can have her help you find a restaurant, make a reservation, and pull up directions without leaving your browser.

Windows Store

For Windows 10, Microsoft has unified the Windows Store. Now, apps for PCs, tablets, and phones will all be accessible from one place. And with support for Universal Apps, one version of an app can work across all your compatible devices automatically.

Windows Continuum

Windows 10 was designed for a variety of screen sizes and input styles, and with its Continuum feature, it automatically adapts to fit your needs. A Windows 10 tablet on its own requires a touch-centric approach, but attaching a mouse and keyboard will shift everything to a more traditional interface. You can even attach an external monitor to your Windows 10 phone for a near-desktop experience. But it's not just the operating system; Windows Universal Apps take advantage of Continuum as well.

Xbox on Windows 10

Gaming is a big focus of Windows 10. Xbox integration allows for PC players to match up against Xbox One players on supported games, and if you have an Xbox One, you can even stream compatible titles to your PC. Native support for recording with the new Game DVR feature makes it easy to capture and share your gameplay. The new DirectX12 takes better advantage of multi-core processors, giving games a performance boost, even on older hardware. Windows 10 also features native support for virtual reality headsets, such as the Oculus Rift.

Windows 10 Pro

The Pro version of Windows 10 includes all of the features of Windows 10 Home plus many designed specifically for businesses users, including Hyper-V virtualization, BitLocker disk encryption, and remote desktop access. Devices will also be able to join domains and the Azure Active Directory, and they can even access a specialized version of the Windows Store featuring custom, company-specific applications.
